Install Windows XP on Ubuntu Dapper

June 22, 2006 — Nikesh

For some reason, you might want to install Microsoft Windows XP on Ubuntu Dapper Drake, one of the main reason is because you want to be able to do development without booting your pc into other operating system, the other reason is you might want to try out something on the other operating system while you’re using Linux.

Whatever the reason are, you might run into some trouble if you’re trying to install Windows XP on QEMU for the first time and this howto might get you out from messy situations.
